1 piece (medium) of Mushroom Cheese Omelette (120 g) has 204 calories. That works out to 170 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.8 g of carbs, 13.8 g of protein, 14.6 g of fat and 1 g of fiber. Its 18 µg of Biotin covers 60% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 25 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
A mushroom cheese omelette is made by cooking beaten eggs in a pan with sliced mushrooms and cheese, which melts into the soft folds. It is a familiar omelette variation rather than a dish tied to one particular region, and the filling can be adapted to whatever mushrooms or cheese you have.
It is often served hot for breakfast or brunch, or as a quick light meal, with toast, salad or sautéed vegetables. Eggs and cheese make it a protein-rich choice; mushrooms bring a savoury, earthy flavour. For a lighter plate, use a little less cheese and cooking fat, and pair it with fresh greens.

High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Cook sliced mushrooms in a lightly oiled pan until their released moisture evaporates. Pour in beaten eggs, let them begin to set, then add grated cheese and fold the omelette over. Cook until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted.
Cheddar melts well and gives a Mushroom Cheese Omelette a familiar savory flavor. Swiss-style cheese also pairs nicely with mushrooms; grate or finely slice the cheese so it melts before the eggs overcook.
Yes, sauté the mushrooms first. Raw mushrooms release moisture as they cook, which can make the eggs watery and slow the omelette from setting. Cooking them beforehand also deepens their savory flavor.
For a fluffy Mushroom Cheese Omelette, beat the eggs just until the yolks and whites are combined, and cook them over medium-low heat. Avoid packing in too much filling, which weighs the eggs down and makes folding harder.
Yes, frozen mushrooms work in a Mushroom Cheese Omelette, but thaw them and drain off excess liquid first. Sauté them until the pan is no longer wet, then add the eggs so the omelette can set properly.
You can cook a Mushroom Cheese Omelette ahead, but it tastes best freshly made because reheating can toughen the eggs. For easier prep, sauté the mushrooms in advance and refrigerate them, then cook the omelette when you are ready to eat.
Refrigerate leftover Mushroom Cheese Omelette promptly in a covered container. Since it contains eggs and cheese, do not leave it sitting out for an extended period, and discard it if its smell or appearance has changed.
Reheat a Mushroom Cheese Omelette gently in a covered pan over low heat, turning it if needed so it warms evenly. A microwave also works; heat until steaming throughout, and avoid repeated reheating because it can make the eggs rubbery.
Yes, a Mushroom Cheese Omelette can make a filling breakfast, with protein from eggs and cheese and savory flavor from the mushrooms. Add whole-grain toast or fresh vegetables for a more complete morning meal.
Serve a Mushroom Cheese Omelette with toast, sliced tomatoes, or a green salad. For brunch, roasted potatoes or fresh fruit also complement its savory mushroom-and-cheese filling.
